How curious that you have six packets of each variety to offer and all two years old.  I don't anticipate a stampede.   ;D

 Thanks for your reply Georgie but to be honest,i have 7 packets of each variety :P,but thought i would sow a few packets myself just for the bees 8).Incidentley i had these seeds given me today and just thought i would share them out between a few forum members because thats the kind of person i am.I only offered 3 free packets per person as i wanted as many members to get a freebie,perhaps i should increase the amount of packets offered.Feedback/critism welcome.Thanks again Paul

I found a packet of verbena bonariensis dated 2004 or2006. I thought I'd give them a go. I got 13 plants which when you consider they charge about £5 at the GC, not bad at all.

I would love some, we are trying to make our allotment site look a bit more allotment looking instead of just overgrown wasteland looking, so some cheap flower seeds would be brill.
Have PM'd you.
